   vertigo1022 replied to KidsRNstill's topic in General Nursing

   During nursing school, I was known not only for knocking on breakroom doors (just did tonight too, ugh), medroom doors, or any other door I could find but I would from time to time find myself knocking on the door when I was leaving a patients room. ...

   vertigo1022 replied to abelshan's topic in Tennessee

   Depending on when you start the program at the University of Memphis, it is possible to graduate in just a year and a half. Be warned, though, it is incredibly tough. I had a couple friends who did it so it can work. Just means taking a lot of summer...

   I posted under the male nurse threads but I decided here might actually be a better place for this. I moved to the Nashville area back in December so my wife could stay close to her family. I love the area and truly love the working conditions here. ...

   The LifeFlight program in the area is excellent but very competitive. ER is a good way to go to get the necessary experience needed but it also helps to have some good ICU experience. I know of a lot of the burn nurses up there who were interested in...

   The new grad internships are excellent. There is one in cardiac and also an incredible one in Peds if you like kids. Don't know too much about the single scene other than from word of mouth, and from what I hear there a lot of cool clubs and music ve...

   Vanderbilt was a great place to learn. The hospital is state of the art and the physicians are some of the best around. On top of that with it being a teaching hospital, you have the opportunity to really work in close proximity to the new residents....

    One more I just thought about. In nursing school in Memphis, TN, there was a girl in our class name Lisa Presley....and yes, her middle name was Marie.

11. Funny Names for Nurses

    vertigo1022 replied to randomnamees's topic in Humor

    Not as much a funny one but my wife and I were both amused. When I went in to apply for a job at the hospital I work at now, the HR reps name was Tim Burton. What was funnier was when during orientation he introduced our CEO, Dennis Miller.

    I recently moved to the Nashville area so my wife could stay close to her family. The only difficult part is that I am now in an area where I know nearly no one and being a male nurse, I find it even more difficult to find other guy to hang out with...
